Baton Rouge Shooting

Maybe it's just because I've recently found out about this whole I have autism thing and I've been doing a lot of reading on it, but I'm starting to understand the arguments made in these racial/political divides. Or at least I think I do in a new way, god only knows if I've actually got a clue what I'm talking about.

It seems like every argument made is an emotional argument. No one ever wants to talk about applicable facts and research. I love political debate, and I've been told I'm pretty good at doing it politely and with respect, even with people I completely disagree with. I'm more interested in learning than being right. But it seems like the whole point of most peoples political debate is to help them vent their emotions, not to actually discuss what it is they claim they want to discuss. And it's not just one side. I can't tell you how many times I've agreed with what a person was saying and hated the way they were saying it.

It seems to me these emotional arguments have gotten out of control. Hero's are dying because we can't get through the emotions to the actual solutions to our problems.

I'm sure crackers have it coming for being the dominant oppressor in the US that also enslaved his ancestors, and made the racist and bullying systems that they are today, and no amount of white guilt marches and liberal arts majors can change that fact.

You can try and justify murder as much as you want, but it's still murder.

By that same logic the murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile should be equal to the murders of the cops.
